Here is a description of Funny Money:

Chevy Chase makes a triumphant return to the big screen in Leslie Greif's hilarious farce Funny Money. Henry (Chase) is a designer of wax fruit, whose lovely wife Carol (Penelope Ann Miller) is a struggling artist about to catch her big break. When Henry accidentally switches briefcases with a Russian mobster, he discovers that he and Carol have hit the jackpot; $5,000,000 with no strings attached. Well, maybe a few strings. A dirty cop, the Russian mob, a comic cabbie, concerned friends, and a last minute trip to Barcelona all come into play in Harry Basil's terrific script. The Sarasota Film Festival presents Funny Money; a winning comedy, a terrific night at the movies, and the Opening Night Film of the 2006 Festival. Chevy Chase, Penelope Ann Miller, Christopher McDonald, and filmmaker Leslie Greif in attendance.

I saw it & it was pretty funny! It was good to see Chevy in his typical role again! I would definitely go see it again when it is released.

Certainly, the overwhelming audience response to Funny Money didn’t hurt, either. In the Q&A following the film, Mr. Chase responded to the audience approval, saying “I haven’t seen a reaction to one of my movies like this one for forever; and I have you to thank for that.”
